Segment Routing is as much source routing as RSVP-TE would be, there’s no per hop SA lookup, but rather per FEC (that could be a SA) at the ingress.
Ability to abstract next hop into higher layer, locally resolvable entity (adj-sid -> node->sid -> anycast-sid -> etc) provides a rather viable from a network design and implementation way to have end2end networking while utilizing local state.

When called segment routing it is accepted as a useful technology for
well defined problems of this type.
